Malone has matured into a pretty good leader. His biggest sin is not being able to stay healthy because he plays the game very hard. He has 6 20+ goal seasons under his belt and his rate this year totals out to a 60 point guy when games lost to injury are considered.

I wouldn't want to pay him what he makes, but there are a lot of NHL players stealing their money. He isn't one of them. He plays with pain too, so I can only imagine how many other games he has played where another $4-5M a year player would have sat out.

Kudos to him for another good year. If he can ever get a full season in his totals could go up since he wouldn't have multiple stretches where he is trying to catch up from lengthy layoffs.

Lulz. He just ruined chimera with a left then holds off pummeling him while he's down. Chimera jumps up trying to resume the fight. Malone would have ruined his day real quick, his arm was still cocked back.
